Thirimanne survived the dismissal during his innings of 62 in Sri Lanka's 51-run one-day international win over India at the Gabba on Tuesday, but only after the Indians decided to withdraw their appeal.

A Mankad is where the bowler whips off the bails at the non-striker's end instead of releasing the ball.

Ashwin legitimately did this when Thirimanne, who was on 44 at the time, left his crease too early.
